THE SPIRIT CARRIES ON  (CHORDS)

A:       
   D                     D/F# 

Where did we come from? Why are we here? 

  G                      D               D/C#

Where do we go when we die? 

   Bm              Bm/A  

What lies beyond? What lay before? 

      E/G#                  A4            A

Is anything certain in life? 
 
A:          

They say life is too short the here and the now, 

and you're only given one shot. 
      
But could there be more? Have I lived before? 
         
Or could this be all that we've got?

B: 

 Chorus:

   G         A                 D       D/C#        Bm 
If I die tomorrow, I'd be all right because I believe 

             G           Em                 D
that after we're gone, the spirit carries on  

(interlude)  

D           D9                   D4               Em .
D           D9                    D4               A4      (drums)

 A:

I used to be frightened of dying. 
    
I used to think death was the end. 

But that was before, I'm not scared anymore. 

I know that my soul will transcend.


 A:

        
I may never find all the answers, 
  
I may never understand why. 

I may never prove what I know to be true, 

but I know that I still have to try.


B: 

CHORUS:

 If I died tomorrow I'd be all right because I believe 

                G          Em                 D           D7

that after we're gone, the spirit carries on


C:

   Em                    D# 

Move on, be brave! Don't weep at my grave! 

      D                E 

because I'm no longer here. 

         G           Em                      Bm
But please never let your memory of me disappear.


Guitar Solo


Same chords 

A:

Safe in the light that surrounds me. 

Free of the fear and the pain. 

The question in mind has helped me to find 

the meaning in my life again. 


A:

Victoria's real! I finally feel

at peace with the girl in my dreams. 

And now that I'm here, it's perfectly clear 

I'll find out what all of this means.

B:

Chorus:

  
If I died tomorrow I'd be all right because I believe 

               G           Em                        D       

that after we're gone, the spirit carries  on
